drawing with functions I think I might need,
and I created a separate file where those functions
will be. This is my first commit of 3.
Somewhere I got stuck was trying to create three
balls in a circular arrangement such that two
had the same y-coordinate and the third had an
x-coordinate between those of the other two. I
knew I needed the turtle to stop and draw a ball
every 120 degrees, but I'd forgotten I needed to
change the heading. After I changed the heading
I realized that the radius had to be adjusted
since the center of the circle is to the turtle's
left. Overall, the math was what I needed to
remind myself of to implement the ideas I had,
but it wasn't always clear to me what math I
would need to think about as I adjusted the
program.
For my next commit, I'll draw out the upper body
of the juggler and then position the turtle so
the juggled balls are in a location that makes
sense relative to the juggler. For my last commit,
my goal is to animate the balls moving in a circle.
I've already started thinking about how I might
do it, so I have an offset to determine where in
the (imaginary) circle the turtle should draw the
first ball.
